Am sitting in the guest lounge of The Clyde hotel in downtown Portland.Amtrak'd in about 5:00p.m. and just got back from a yummy dinner and walking around a bit.Man!!! Portland is beautiful. And that's just from the view from the train on the way in. The train station is really nice - puts Seattle's to shame!!!I'm not exactly sure when I'm supposed to wander down to the Tom McCall Waterfront Park to get in line but the tickets say the doors open at 11:00. I'm thinking I'm going to want to be there alot sooner than that.

Welcome to my beautiful city! I ended up sleeping most of the day away so I'm cleaning the house right now. Are you going to be up late or are you an early to bed kinda girl?

We aren't going to be a the LCSD until after noon because Blue isn't even getting in until 10:45 and we still have to drop her stuff off at my house afterward. Really, we only want to see JC and Ashlee so we're hoping for some kind of list to be published but no luck so far. :le sigh:

I've got your cell # tucked safely in my wallet. As for directions, I'd ask the desk guy at your hotel. He might even lead you to the Max train, which is free downtown, and you can ride in style. The concert is at Tom McCall Waterfront park, which when facing the river, is to your far right.

And no word on playlist. Grrr... I'm just hoping for a beergarden where we can actually sit, be closer and screen out some of the teenie madness.

I wish!!! No, there's free internet access right in the building! They've converted one of their rooms into a guest lounge. They've got vending machines and this little pc in here for our use. Pretty cool, eh!!! I'd recommend this hotel to any one travelling to Portland. It's quaint and adorable and affordable IMHO.

oh thats cool whats the hotel called, have you got far to go to see jc, do you know how many songs he will sing? anyway enjoy, next time ill come with you ok lol i need to get out of this area soon lol ill come for a visit :)
